Friday's Finds
February 03, 2007

I stumbled across a few, tenuously linked, things on-line yesterday. Google featured in the first couple. Remix 2.0 is an intriguing combination of music, video and Google Maps!

TechCrunch reports on rumours that Google are working on using Google Earth-related technology to create an application similar to Second Life. This Metaverse concept popularized by Snow Crash, the Neal Stephenson book, was part of the inspiration for Google Earth. So claims John Hanke, Director of Google Earth.

Next, a couple of collaborative projects. Penguin is launching its first wiki and in a project called A Million Penguins they've created a space where anyone can contribute to the writing of a novel and anyone can edit anyone else's writing. Whilst NetBehaviours Do It With Others project is a contemporary take on the past Mail Art endeavours. There is an open call for contributions from 31st January to 28th February 2007 via the NetBehaviour email list. You can subscribe here. An exhibition will follow at the HTTP Gallery, London, initiated by Furtherfield.org.

Finally, Christian Marclay has an installation, Crossfire, at the White Cube in Hoxton Square from Feb 2nd - March 10th.

Oh! And two more artists that caught my eye at last months London Art Fair... Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, whose work I don't recall being aware of before. But, as she was part of the St. Ives group, I'm sure I must seen some of her work before. The picture, top left is called Cardinal by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham. Owned by the Government Art Collection.

Julian Perry. Who has a forthcoming exhibition of garden shed paintings, that we saw a few of and I liked a lot, at Austin/Desmond Fine Art. But not until October this year.
